You won't regret it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is great in SDR and excellent in Dolby Vision,i did fiddle with the settings to get it the way I wanted but not much it's pretty accurate out of the box. I can't speak about the audio because I have Sonos surround system. A bit pricey but worth it when you get it set to the way you want, it's made me say you can't get much better than that a few times hope this helps.

Perfection
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a month of conisderation and research, I finally decided to upgrade to the new Sony Bravia 8 II. I've used it now for a few weeks and can already tell it was far more worth it than I originally thought. The color, picture quality, processor, its perfect. I would reccomend to any TV enthusiast who has a tv older than a few years to go for it. Couldn't be happier.

Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal picture, easy to set up. Heard that Samsung and LG may be brighter, but I can't imagine anyone having a problem with this tv's brightness. Only complaints is I wish Sony provided guidance on calibration, instead of having to rely on rtings and other sites. Maybe they have it but I couldn't find. Would also prefer more than 1 HDMI 2.1 port, since one is for earc.

Stunning Top Of The Line OLED
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this wonderful Sony about 1 month ago from BB. This is our 3rd Sony OLED in 5 years-not because they fail but our 3rd because the picture quality makes quantum leaps every year! Watching 4K movies on DVD is our primary form of home entertainment and the picture quality of this Bravia 8 65" just stands head and shoulders above the Korean brands. SONY-THE ONE AND ONLY! That advertising slogan was true in the 1970's and it is just as true today. Coupled with a state of the art Sony Dolby Atmos sound system and with the center "screen as a speaker" activated-well....it is the finest entertainment system we have ever owned!

Sony still reigns supreme!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying, in my opinion, this is the best TV money can buy. Sony just downright knows how to make an arguably a perfect TV. Picture quality is 2nd to none. Brightness is bright, but not overly bright, color is rich, natural and accurate. Processing is king, making 720p and 1080p content almost appear like 4k content with so much detail in every way possible. My only grip would be gaming brightness and only having 2 HDMI 2.1 inputs are a bit disappointing for what you’re paying for. Overall, this TV is everything I have wanted from a set. If your budget can swing it, grab one and enjoy one heck of a ride for years to come

This TV is BRIGHT!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is incredibly bright! I upgraded from a 2019 OLED C9 seeking a brighter display. After comparing this TV to LG’s 2025 flagship, I chose the Sony based on the reputation of the Sony A95L, and I have no regrets. The colors from its QD-OLED panel are striking, the vibrant visuals are perfect for gaming. It took a day to adjust to the warmer tones (slightly magenta?), but they quickly feel natural. Compared to an LG C3, the colors really pop. It’s an outstanding TV. The only drawbacks are its premium price and that only two of the four HDMI ports are 2.1. If you have multiple consoles and a soundbar, consider an HDMI switch to avoid cable swapping. Overall, it’s a fantastic TV!

BEST TV 2025 OFFERS
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bravia 8 mkii looked great in store, but looks even better at home. This gets very bright but also very cinematic when it needs to be. Only grudge you could say is the biggest size it comes in is 65”, but if thats the size you’re looking for then this is the model for you. Ive considered other great options but the processing and color accuracy sony puts towards their tvs outperforms the competition. 10/10

Best in class
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this huge Bravia to replace a 55" Roku HD TV that was some seven years old and had been a disappointment in most ways from the beginning. We just started viewing this Sony Bravia and it is, in a word, spectacular, the colors so vivid and high def, and the sound clear, without the lack of balance that made it hard to hear dialogue on the Roku. I ordered it from Best Buy online but checked it out in operation at the store before picking it. A sales clerk came over and enthusiastically complimented on my choice, saying it was by far the best TV in the store and his personal favorite.

A gorgeous OLED performer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m finding that the Sony Bravia 8 II delivers one of the most stunning OLED displays yet, with brighter HDR highlights, richer color, and super black contrast. I’ve opted for a nice soundbar but the screen emanating sound was very clear. Wish it had another HDMI 2.1 port as it only has two; something gamers may want to consider. All-in-all I purchased this pricey OLED for its clarity, color quality, brightness and Sony’s reputation for reliability.

My GREAT Sony Bravia
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent television! I get almost the same quality picture as was experienced on the floor models in the Best Buy Store. This is to be expected since the floor models are not "streaming" . This is my second purchase of this same exact TV. It is like going to a movie house without having to get up and go there.

“Unmatched Picture and Sound — The Best TV of 2025
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Bravia 8ii is hands down one of the best TVs of 2025. The picture quality is stunning — it feels like watching movies on an M4 iPad display. Tweaking the picture settings can be a bit challenging, but once dialed in, the visuals are flawless and the sound is equally impressive. It’s definitely pricey, but you’re paying for top-tier quality

Product is great, purchase process-not so great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is great. Easily my best purchase and clearly the best since the annoying manager at Best Buy wouldn’t stop trying to get me to purchase more stuff even though I explicitly told him I only wanted the tv. He kept making faces and scuffing as I opposed his tactics. Kinda funny watching him get frustrated as he probably though I was an idiot for not getting additional surge protection even after he tried to explain to me why I needed it(I’m an electrical engineer I know what it does. I also already had some that was relatively new).

The best picture for movies.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a movie-phile. loved the Tv, but. excellent picture quality. I had a sony Z9D prior to this. So i was used to super high brightness and very good deep blacks. straight out of the box, colors are vibrant, contrast is clean, and imiage processing was awesome. playing 4K moves through the UPB 700 from sony was breathtaking. i didn't see a need to calibrate the tv. peak brightness on scenes was superb. streaming through an apple tv 4K latest gen, was also very good. it read dolby vision content, and played back no issues. rendering the low nitrate content was also very good. hard to tell you were streaming 4K dolby vision content. streaming SDR content was all very good. it did a very good job at cleaning up and upscaling the content. The interface is one of my favorites. i can access the settings very quickly and out fuz if i needed to adjust anything. it was also great that i could use the tv panel sound and paired to with my surround so i could add more clarity with the center channel i have hooked up. As for why i had to change and go for the LG G5. it's because of the lack of HDMI 2.1 ports. it only had 2 compared to 4 on the LG. i had to unplug and plug things in like the blue ray, apple tv, and xbox so i can take full advantage of 120 frames while gaming, full spectrum bandwidth while streaming for dolby vision and dolby atmos for my older marantz reviver.
